I love, love, love tequila & tacos, so when I discovered that there's a new spot in town, I made my way there without hesitation. The new El Caballito Tequila Bar is located at King and Simcoe, a great location to head to after work!

We LOVE cupcakes!
Red velvet, vanilla, cookies n’ cream, chocolate, you name it, we're more than likely to love
it! We recently tried cupcakes from Tania at Sugar Tooth Fairy who runs her own
cupcake and cake business in Toronto. You’ll have to order ahead of time as she
makes everything herself and doesn’t have a store front just quite yet. We were so impressed by the presentation and the deliciousness of her cupcakes, we thought we would share with you guys!

The prestigious Four Seasons Hotel opened its doors in October 2012 but we still haven't dined there! Thought it was about time to change this so, last Sunday, my girlfriends and I met for some long overdue Brunch at the Café Boulud inside the hotel.

Toronto is home to many, many Japanese izakayas, and a lot of them have the loud and lively atmosphere in common - afterall, izakaya is a drinking establishment in Japan. I do enjoy that atmosphere when going out with friends or having a girls night, but sometimes I prefer a more intimate and cozy environment that allows for conversation over food. Toronto's Kintaro Izakaya on Church St. that opened in late summer of 2013 was perfect for that.

There's a new hot eatery in Koreatown! Barrio Coreano, by the creators of Playa Cabana, has situated itself among Korean family restaurants in the area and taking the neighbourhood by storm. My visit was on a Thursday night as a walk in (as online booking was full) and was lucky enough to get a seat!

A trip to Montreal isn't complete without some poutine! We headed to Resto la banquise, a famous restaurant, known for their delicious fries & cheese curd dish without hesitation. It's located a few blocks East of Rue St. Denis, one of Montreal's main streets with great shopping.

The beginning of a New Year is always about making resolutions for the upcoming year and reflecting on the previous year. It’s safe to say that in 2013 we ate our fair share of good food and met so many new people who share the same love for food as us.

After our visit to CTV as the audience for The Social, we needed to grab lunch as we were famished. After tweeting our foodie friends about where to eat in the area, we took Chanry's (@TheRealChanry) suggestion and headed to Ravi Soups, which was the closest from other places recommended. Oh, are we glad we stepped inside Ravi Soups!
